What is \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{27} \) - \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

38% Answer Correctly
0\( \sqrt{0} \)
0\( \sqrt{27} \)
12\( \sqrt{3} \)
0\( \sqrt{9} \)

Solution

To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

6\( \sqrt{27} \) - 6\( \sqrt{3} \)
6\( \sqrt{9 \times 3} \) - 6\( \sqrt{3} \)
6\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 3} \) - 6\( \sqrt{3} \)
(6)(3)\( \sqrt{3} \) - 6\( \sqrt{3} \)
18\( \sqrt{3} \) - 6\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

18\( \sqrt{3} \) - 6\( \sqrt{3} \)
(18 - 6)\( \sqrt{3} \)
12\( \sqrt{3} \)


2

Simplify \( \sqrt{12} \)

62% Answer Correctly
7\( \sqrt{6} \)
5\( \sqrt{3} \)
2\( \sqrt{6} \)
2\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{12} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 3} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 3} \)
2\( \sqrt{3} \)


3

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

59% Answer Correctly

associative

PEDMAS

commutative

distributive


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


4

How many 1 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 6 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

52% Answer Correctly
9
3
6
2

Solution

To fill a 6 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 3 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1 gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{3 \text{ gallons}}{1 \text{ gallons}} \) = 3


5

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 70% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
35%
30%
20%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 70% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{70\text{%}}{2} \) = 35%
